That doesn't work - gcc warns about it.
That turns out to be a problem with %#p too.
It's really irritating how we cannot extend on the printk strings without either having to throw out gcc warnings altogether. gcc has no extension mechanism to the built-in rules ;/
The format warnings are too useful to drop entirely. I guess sparse could be taught to do them, and then we could drop the gcc support for them. But that would still limit coverage a _lot_.
